Winning the SoC Revolution: Experiences in Real Design by Grant Martin (auth.), Grant Martin, Henry Chang (eds.)

By Grant Martin (auth.), Grant Martin, Henry Chang (eds.)

In 1998-99, on the sunrise of the SoC Revolution, we wrote Surviving the SOC Revolution: A advisor to Platform established Design. In that e-book, we fascinated by offering directions and most sensible practices to help engineers commencing to layout complicated System-on-Chip units (SoCs). Now, in 2003, dealing with the mid-point of that revolution, we think that it's time to concentrate on winning.

In this publication, Winning the SoC Revolution: studies in genuine Design, we assemble the easiest functional stories in how one can layout SoCs from the main complex layout teams, whereas environment the problems and strategies within the context of SoC layout methodologies. As an edited quantity, this booklet has contributions from the major layout homes who're successful in SoCs - Altera, ARM, IBM, Philips, TI, UC Berkeley, and Xilinx. those chapters current the various aspects of SoC layout - the platform established process, the best way to most sensible make the most of IP, Verification, FPGA materials in its place to ASICs, and subsequent iteration method expertise matters. We additionally comprise observations from Ron Wilson of CMP Media on top practices for SoC layout workforce collaboration. we are hoping that by using this e-book, you too, will win the SoC Revolution.

Rare Earth Permanent-Magnet Alloys’ High Temperature Phase Transformation: In Situ and Dynamic Observation and Its Application in Material Design

The method of hot temperature section transition of infrequent earth permanent-magnet alloys is published through photos taken via excessive voltage TEM. the connection among the formation of nanocrystal and magnetic homes is mentioned intimately, which results alloys composition and education technique. The test effects demonstrated a few presumptions, and have been worthwhile for next clinical examine and growing new permanent-magnet alloys.

Embedded Software Architecture Example In general, effective solutions to these issues revolve around careful architecting of ESW to layer it into a small amount of highly-optimized platform-dependent code, and a much larger amount of well-structured platform-independent code which can be more easily ported to new processors, real-time operation systems (RTOSs) and applications. This approach has been successful on a number of complex applications in the communications and automotive fields.
